he looks SO shocked and taken aback and goes “what did you just say? how do you know my name?” so i sit there for a moment trying to figure out what the fuck he is talking about, and then go, “…. bitch?” and he looks so relieved and tells me his name is mitch.

Top: in World 8-4 in Super Mario Bros., there is an underwater section in a castle, the only one of its kind anywhere in the game. Normally, the player would simply emerge from the entrance pipe and continue to the right. However, if the player attempts to interact with the pipe, Mario will become hurt or even killed by something seemingly invisible.

Bottom: if Mario is Fire Mario, shooting a fireball at the pipe will also destroy the invisible object and award 200 points.

This is actually a Piranha Plant which is invisible due to being incorrectly drawn behind the water background instead of in front of it. The reason the Piranha Plant is there to begin with is because every single upright pipe in the game that is not in World 1-1 is programmed to spawn a Piranha Plant if there are enough object slots open (not too many other enemies are already loaded).

This results in some pipes appearing to not have Piranha Plants during regular gameplay (as they are usually reached when there are already too many other enemies loaded), but even they can be made to spawn Piranha Plants if Mario systematically defeats and unloads all enemies around them. This invisible Piranha Plant is simply a combination of this implementation and a graphical oversight.
